Nebraska has butt punt returned for TD by Iowa (Video)
Iowa scored a touchdown against Nebraska on Friday after the Cornhuskers managed to block their own punt.
Nebraska punter Sam Foltz fumbled what looked like a perfect snap in the third quarter. In his hastiness to pick the ball up and get the kick off with an Iowa player closing in, Foltz got too close to his blockers. He ended up punting the ball right into the backside of an offensive lineman.
The ball deflected backwards and was scooped up by Iowa and taken for a touchdown.
While the play wasn’t quite as embarrassing as Mark Sanchez’s infamous butt fumble (nothing ever will be), it was still pretty bad. You have to wonder if Foltz was battling a turkey hangover.
